"I was testing to see if you could be honest or would your fear drive you to lie," he told her as he ate more and then finished. Then he leaned over whispered something to a servant who disappeared from the room without a word taking Razor's plate. Razor reached over to a chair beside him and pulled a book out of the seat and gently shoved it across the table to Lia. It was a log of demon's travels. If her friend was a foreigner and coming in and out of his kingdom a lot, then those logs would show the pattern.
It was an offering of peace. It was also a gift for being honest. She was being rewarded just as he had promised her. She got something for information. It was easy to get somewhere with him if she knew how to play her cards she could get more information. He gave a small smile and stood up. Today he didn't dismiss her, but instead pulled his cloak around him then gathered his papers and simply left. No dismissive tone or rude comment as he left.
Once he was gone the servant came back in with a slice of homemade cake and icecream. "The master said to bring this to you... He said you earned it," the servant said. His voice was shaking. It was clear he was scared to drop the plate as it shook in his hand slightly. He had no idea why the master had taken to this girl, but he wouldn't dare harm her as long as she held the master's curiosity. He stepped away bowing to her and stood ready to take it away should she be displeased and bring her another selection. This one was a red velvet cake.
